Wendy C. (Jenkins) Baklarz and Jaison H. Fisher exchanged wedding vows at 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, 2013, on the beach at RIU Palace, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The bride is the daughter of Roger and Jane Jenkins of Franklin, Pa. Parents of the bridegroom are Dan and Sharon Fisher, also of Franklin, Pa. Reverend Marco Arechiga officiated at the double-ring ceremony.

The bride looked beautiful in a trumpet-style heavily encrusted lace Mori Lee gown, accented with a satin belt adorned with Swarovski crystals and pearls. Her v-neckline was piped with delicate beading and metallic embroidery, which carried on to the back of the dress. Her scalloped lace hemline was enhanced with silver metallic detailing from which flowed her chapel length train, and looked breathtaking on the sands of Cabo San Lucas. The bride's look was completed with an elbow length veil, trimmed with crystals and pearls to complement her dress, and 2 crystal-encrusted starfish hair combs; the perfect accompaniment to complete her look.

Maid of Honor for the bride was Melissa Bayus of Columbus, friend of the bride. The bridesmaids wore aqua blue halter chiffon cocktail length dresses accented with an ivory sash and rhinestone starfish brooch. Matron of Honor was Heather Taindel of Charlotte, N.C., friend of the bride. Bridesmaids were Allie Baklarz of Boardman (daughter of the bride), Pam Hernandez of Canfield (friend of the bride), and Kathy Maiorana of Charlotte, N.C. (friend of the bride).
